A hollow tube 6 telescopes within the tube 1and held at dierent relative positions therein through the medium of theadjusting screw 7. An adjustable skeleton disk, designated by numeral 8,has a hub portion 9, in which an adjusting screw 1() is mounted andadapted to engage said shall 6` to hold said disk in Copies of thispatent may be obtained for sectional View on line` riphery of the diskand are provided with hooks at their outer ends. Chains 1Q made of linksareadapted to be supported at their upper ends bv the hooks 13 whichproject from the'shell14 and said chain is adjustably connected to theouter ends of the hooks 15. `An adjusting screw 16 is mounted in athreaded aperture in the lower end of the shell 14, adapted to hold said`shell 14 at different elevations. A bulb 17 is connected to the lowerportion of the tube 6, and 18 designates a shade supported about the.tube 6.

By the provision of an adjustable electrolier, made in accordance withmy invention, it will be noted that the device may be conveniently hung.temporarily or permanently from a ceiling and the lamp wired for use.Through the medium of the adjusting means the light and shade may beheld at dierent elevations according as it may be desiredfor differentpurposes.

What I claim to be new is:

1. An adjustable electrolier, comprising two tubes telescoping with eachother, `and means for holding the same in different adjusted positions,a shell mounted on one of said tubes, and a skeleton disk upon theother, hooks upon said shell and disk, a`

skeleton disk having a hub portion adjust` ably held upon the inner ofsaid tubes, rods radiating from` said hub portion and eX- tendingthrough the periphery of the disk and terminating in hooks, a link chainadjustably connected to said hooks, a bulb connected to the lower end ofsaid inner tube, and a shade about said bulb, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
